I wouldn't say it's all trash, but I find TV like this. I loathe most of it finding it pretty vacuous. I am still drawn to it.

We had a defining realisation last year when we found a Youtube channel where a guy cleans carpets. I found it more nutritionally satisfying than 99% of programming on the TV. It was and is totally eye-opening. I have a similar draw to nature. I can watch wild animals doing their thing. And get some entertainment with curtain twitching. I think it's just that inherent human thing - watching.

I do like reading. The minutes I do this are ever dwindling through competition for my idle brain.
Yeah my screen time includes maps navigation.
I think the implication was that it didn't have to be on tiktok. it's a choice that people make. the phone doesn't force them. rejecting the phone entirely isn't some form of virtue or moral purity.
Well, all cables can charge at least. It is not a usb-c problem but an apple and /or charger manufacturer one.

My bet would be sth about the voltage the charger provides.
I strongly disagree with you painting one of its main value props as shady/illegal, but your overall point is good.

The survival strategy works.

I think for us to really know what would it take to fail, would require really knowing what use cases it is fulfilling as a tool. We can then reason how sticky and how deep of a moat it has in those use cases.

I believe the main use case it serves is as a borderless permissionless bearer asset store of value that’s a good diversifier from the system - like gold.

If we agree that use case powers
eg 80% of its market cap value, then we can reason that it’s unlikely to go away because the value network effect is incredibly hard to build again - it’s time dependent and path dependent

If we, for whatever reason I disagree with, say that 80% of its value comes from the ability to evade taxes and launder money - then some 10x better alternative like Monero would very quickly take over as the preferred tool of choice and therefore kill Bitcoin
And how, pray tell, do geotagged images magically get into your Photos library?

I actually couldn't get Photos address search to work right in my testing before writing my previous comment, even with a geotagged photo that I just took. So I'm not sure whether I have some setting disabled that prevents it.

The only match was via character recognition of a printed form that I had photographed.

To be clear, I meant that it was a nonissue for me, because I don't geotag my photos (except in that one test). Whether it's an issue for other people, I don't know.

One of the problems with iPhone lockdown is that it's a lot more difficult to investigate how things work technically than on the Mac.

Would a chess novice still recognize the difference in the midgame or endgame?

Embrace boredom.
> At this point every remote internet checklist has to include checks for humanity,

I genuinely don't understand this requirement. Isn't an interview exactly that? It's a conversation pretending to be about a technical problem/question/challenge but in reality its purpose is to find out whether you click with the person and would want to work with them. If some ChatGPT text can trick you then your process is broken anyway and everybody joining your company can expect colleagues selected by this sub-par process.
Elitism is alive and well in this little nook. Equating platform engineering, SRE and sysadmin to the same thing.

Platforms are often large scale distributed systems, dealing with problems like ensuring 100000s of compute nodes are in a deployed and in consistent state. Millions of lines of code are written, peer reviewed and committed to solve this problem.

This mirrors an attitude I have frequently encountered from "traditional" or "mainstream" software engineers who devalue any work that isn't features, and don't want to have to work on problems like "make my feature appear on all deployments and work well" - it's just something sysadmins do amirite?
Or maybe this is just an advertisement.

Linus hated Ada. I suspect he doesn't exactly like Rust either but the Tribe is just too strong within Linux.
It looks sensible assuming that Little Snitch has some high level manager agent inside Apple manipulating the company making these kind of sneaky attacks on customers' privacy that drives the sales of Little Snitch. On the end they will also make them to buy Liitle Snitch for lots of millions or billions for elimination so they can attack customers freely afterwards. Little Snitch hidden agents are smart!

I do not assume that Apple managers are that degenerate idiots pushing through trust eroding marginal idiocy like this.

> Methodology

> Reviews.org surveyed 1,000 Americans 18 years and older with a +/- 4% margin of error and a confidence level of 95%. The survey results were weighted to reflect characteristics of the United States population using available data from the US census.

Absent them explicitly saying otherwise, I think we need to assume that the survey was done of reviews.org visitors. Reviews.org has reviews for exactly three categories of services: internet providers, mobile phone plans and services, and TV and streaming.

Weighting for US demographics isn't going to make this sample very representative—this survey is of people who are browsing reviews for a set of products that most people don't think too hard about, which also happens to be a set of products that is tightly related to screen time use.
A battery is a 'consumable component'. The closest thing to a consumable component in a TV is capacitors, which can live as long as two or three decades.
I believe thst it's just socially inept trolls who don't like my political statement. They're demonstrating their lack of ability to judge character - basing their whole assessment of my personality on alleged red flags in a few sentences that were made in response to their backhanded "advice". Typical internet incel behavior. I am not deterred.
Waterproofing being a problem was always a myth. The Samsung Galaxy S5 was IP67 certified and had a removable battery.

I think this removability is part of a broader push for the EU to become a circular economy - at the end of life of the phone the user would discard the device and battery into separate bins.

That is at least the official goal regarding EV batteries and there are efforts underway to make it happen.
Using searches instead of link clicks as their data seems to me like it would skew outcomes significantly. I for one spend my Wikipedia rabbit holes opening links to related topics in background tabs. Not searching for related topics.
If there are any, you can be sure that they're not using z/OS. More likely would be one of those rack-mounted models that only run z/Linux (and possibly z/VM).
> This mindset is how we got those awful cookie banners.

The only thing I've found awful is the mindset of the people implementing the banners.

That you feel frustration over that every company has a cookie banner, is exactly the goal. The companies could decide that it isn't worth frustrating the user over something trivial like website analytics, as they could get that without having to show a cookie banner at all.

But no, they want all the data, even though they most likely don't use all of it, and therefore are forced to show the cookie banner.

Then you as a user see that banner, and instead of thinking "What a shitty company that don't even do the minimal work to not having to show me the cookie banner", you end up thinking "What a bad law forcing the company to inform me about what they do with my data". Sounds so backwards, but you're not the first with this sentiment, so the PR departments of the companies seems like they've succeed in re-pointing the blame...
I suppose if the grape is in a puddle of electrolyte, it can short out the quarter wave antenna. So drying probably only matters if your grape is very juicy!
Fair enough, the comment certainly did. But the message or question was more supposed to be about that a simple crud app does not need a big methodology anyways, and that DDD isn't meant for that in the first place (iirc building a simple crud app is a reason not to use DDD, at least in one of the main books). I'm aware that sometimes simple software can have a lot of value.
Nope, collective indifference to subpar user experiences has gotten us those lousy cookie banners.

Web sites could legally use cookies for non-tracking purposes without cookie banners but considering people have not stopped visiting sites despite the fugly click-through cookie banners makes them a failure.

All it takes is for 50% of the internet users to stop visiting web sites with them, and web site authors will stop tracking users with external cookies.
> The internet is not really organised in a way for you to do anything useful if you are bored. There’s no “learn about the world” course you take when you have nothing else to do.

I have a list of links to read for when I have time to do so. But yeah, if I don’t have anything to do, I prefer just doing nothing than seeking engagement. Social media are a mind killer.

> I find it very difficult to queue up good content to read or listen to on a daily basis.

When I come across something that looks interesting, I add it to the list and stuff accumulates until I go through each link and read the page, usually during my 30 minutes commute. (or not, sometimes it is not as interesting as I thought it would be). For me it works quite well.
Stepping back a bit, having these on the road rather than cars or petrol scooters must be a big win even if they don't last as long as we'd like

I would imagine that there are many designers out there who would be very happy to contribute to a project like this on a volunteer basis.

Also, purposely making your website look less "well crafted" strikes me as quite cynical (and almost certainly counterproductive).

> The actual aim seems closer to marketing or perhaps influencing public discourse on the subject

A worthy aim, no?

... How much do giant drug corps spend on marketing? Last I remember, it was more than they spend on drug development; in the tens of billions of dollars annually. In this context, quibbling that a website seems too nice seems remarkably misguided.

Finally, considering how much effort has been put into helping people actually make these things - far more than anyone else! - I think trying to redefine their aim to be just marketing is deeply unfair.
looks solid! do you have out of the box support for CI/GH Actions?
Are subtitled versions coming too, or perhaps just transcripts?
Yea that’s totally fair. I’d actually second the kindle/ereader recommendation if the goal is to read more. One awesome feature of the kindle is that it auto syncs progress so you can use your kindle for most of your reading but if you’re away without it the kindle app on your phone will know what page you’re on.

For events like these I always wish that some background research was included to put the events into historical context. Even something to say x similar events happened in the last year
Seconded: and we need to have worthy competitors spring up without those bad practices and lousy cookie banners, and people to flock to them.

Once that happens, the "originals" will feel the pressure.
People being confused by a concept is the definition of it being hard.
Yeah, and rules and laws are never just, just because of their nature. Like dictators have laws… incompetent governments have laws… so law itself is a bad argument to follow it and a lot of socio-legal literature actually recognizes that social processes and to some degree social contracts that can include the exact opposite of the law are often at least as important.
Given the state of programming, think javascript frameworks on the Web or always failing overly complex enterprise software, statements like that can easily be just spot on.
I’ve gotten it working with small cherry tomatoes, but you have to cut it into quarters to get the right wavelength.

I can imagine where it would be really nice to have an expiration date on a filesystem. The behavior I would want to see for expired files would be: to show up on a report and maybe display in different color in directory listing. It could be a useful reminder to update an expiring certificate, expiring customer contract, etc.
Thanks! It's coming in a couple of days! You can follow planned issue on GH!
Idea 3: Use a prediction market to find the best candidate.
When looked at from another angle, opt-in does work.

By adding that extra step forcing users to be aware of (and optionally decline) the vendors collection of personal data, it adds a disincentive for collecting the data in the first place.

In other words, opt-in can be thought of as a way to encourage vendors to change their behaviour. Consumers who don't see an opt-in will eventually know that the vendor isn't collecting their information compared to others and trust the product more.
I used to think so, but with more experience a lot of dark patterns and perverse incentives are becoming obvious. These people are not there to explain something interesting in a useful way, they are there to get your eyeballs to extract money from advertising or a Patreon. They are not teaching you, they are making you think they teach you to make you feel satisfied and give them money. Of course some of them are actually good, but a lot are not really.
Both planes are fairly old (24 years for the KLM, 15 for the one in Korea) so this is more likely a bad maintenance issue than an “omg Boeing quality control sucks recently” one.
> What would a targeted approach to online dating be?

Courting someone, winning someone over. It's done in the offline world. I haven't thought about it much when it comes to online dating. I should've been a bit sharper on that.

When it comes to dating, I always went for the high volume approach. So I really shouldn't be speaking about a targeted approach. I guess I did because I was trying too hard to draw a parallel to applying to jobs.

So my mind just went:

applying online online dating
volume 1 2
targeted 3 4

But perhaps quadrant 4 doesn't really exist and I really was just shoehorning approaches of applying to jobs online into online dating because I saw this 2x2 matrix.

I must be an outlier but I find a lot of the things the veritasium guy does as being extremely annoying to the point that I mostly avoid his videos. And it’s a shame because I know he produces a lot of really high quality stuff.

He’s talked before about how it’s better for learning if you first try to answer a question, get it wrong, then are taught the right thing. So he starts a lot of videos by asking random people on the street a question and we get to watch all of them give super wrong answers. Then he spends some time saying “a lot of people think X but really X is wrong!”

I really really really hate the whole “let’s all laugh at these dumb people” dunking that this encourages. I know he has his reasons that it increases the retention rate of knowledge if you get it wrong first, but to me it just comes off as smug. It gets to the point that a lot of the time he’s just poorly specifying a question, leaving it ambiguous, and when people are “wrong” it’s as much his fault as theirs.

Likewise with the clickbait… he can talk about how “unreasonably effective” it is, but I fucking hate clickbait with a passion and any time one of his videos has a “no way that’s true” headline, it’s almost always not, or at least only true on some mundane technicality. I’ve been burned enough times clicking his videos that I just ignore him now.

Clickbait may be unreasonably effective at getting any random person to click his videos, but to me after enough times I’ve learned to not watch his stuff because of the incessant clickbait. There’s more than enough quality educational stuff on YouTube, I don’t need to indulge smug people like him.

Everyone is arguing about 'jean's not being a big deal.
And, all dress codes are wrong.

So, can a female player wear a bikini? By the arguments here, then yes, that should be allowed. Would it interfere with game play? I think yes.

Can a man wear a bright orange Sarang with blinking lights?

How do you draw the line? Doesn't there need to be a line somewhere so there isn't chaos? It's just that todays generation now thinks 'jeans' are ok. 20 years ago they were not.
I would agree that most people don't use the internet for that when they're bored (including me more often than I'd like to admit), and the big tech websites are all about capturing attention and not providing good uses of the internet, for the most part, but that doesn't mean it's not available for people if they want it.

Last night I was working through some shader tutorials, for instance, albeit on my laptop (I prefer laptop to phone when possible).

I also playtest one of my games (current one has a mobile version), or brainstorm and take notes for my game designs, or read up on something I want to do with one of my games, or go through my github issues list and sometimes even look at my code repos while I'm killing time while out and about (I mostly don't use my phone when I'm not out, I'll just use my laptop).

I try to remember I have a Kindle app with lots of informative books to read but I do forget about a little too often.

When I was younger, I would program text-based games all the time on my TI graphing calculator. I would even bring that instead of my Game Boy to my grandparents sometimes, because I just wanted to code more of my games.

I do think that capability is lacking on phones. It's technically possible, but the environment (at least on iPhone) is so sandboxed it's difficult to do effectively, or at least it was the last time I tried. Anything you're making on the device directly does not have access to the same capabilities as what you make from a laptop or desktop, and that's a shame.
You're probably not losing out on anything if that's comfortable for you. The primary advantage to me is avoiding context switching between a GUI and terminal mental model. But that probably just doesn't bother you.
I had the same on an AORUS X570. Displayport cables with a line tied both ends (shouldn’t be, but many are) would cause BIOS resets, corruption and memory retraining.
By the way, Enhanced Visual Search is also enabled by default in the Xcode iOS 18 simulator.
I think that is federation working as intended. These instance admins are exercising their right to free speech by not federating with instances that contain content they disagree with or disallow on their instance.

I think it's not at all comparable to a corporate entity like X being in full control and able to censor any content.

You may create your own instance and federate with the instances you want. If an instance chooses not to federate with yours you get to decide what's more important to you, your principles or their content.

The solution is to create your own instance. I understand your frustrations but I have a hard time being empathetic to these issues when you are using someone elses instance, probably administered by volunteers in their spare time.
I agree. Just a decade ago, jeans would have me escorted from work. The business dress code was 'pants', jeans were not allowed.

Hi. I'm a Windows fan. I use Windows 11. I experience no "traffic and billboards" or "trudging" or "ads in my face".

I get it - it's "common knowledge" that Windows is full of "spyware" and "ads" and "popups" but I expected better from Hacker News posters. At least do your own research! Spinning up a Windows VM and letting it run for a week costs nothing. I'm sure HN users can handle that.

Play with it. The people who play computer games learned input/output. The people building biodata websites learned how servers and ftp worked.

Play with it enough to know what tokens are, why LLMs are bad with calculation math but good at reasoning math, what vector DBs are, etc. It's like a language, it improves with immersion. At the current rate, the people using AI for roleplay are going to be the experts in 3 years.

There's also going to be the crowd that try to slap a LLM on everything, and engineers should be literate enough to explain why it is or is not a solution, instead of defensively screaming 'hype' or 'stochastic parrot'.
